초록

비세장형, 둥근 앞전을 가지고 스팬이 1.0m로 축소된 BWB형 UCAV에 대해 완전난류, 천이 모델을 사용하여 전산해석을 수행하였다. 자유류는 받음각 -4도부터 26도까지 50m/s이며, 평균 시위 기준 레이놀즈수는 $1.25{\times}10^6$이다. 멀티블록 6면체 격자와 함께 완전난류 모델과 천이 모델의 결과를 비교하여 천이효과가 공력 특성에 미치는 영향을 살펴보았다. 풍동 실험과 비교한 결과 양/항력 계수는 해석범위 내에서 잘 일치하였으며, 피칭 모멘트는 높은 받음각에서 작게 예측됨과 동시에 난류모델에 따라 결과가 크게 달라졌다. 압력분포와 skin friction line, 축 방향 속도장을 이용하여 와류구조의 거동과 천이현상이 미치는 영향을 살펴본 결과, 천이효과를 고려하는 것이 UCAV의 정확한 와류 구조와 공력특성 예측에 필요한 것으로 확인하였다.

A computational simulation for a nonslender BWB UCAV configuration with rounded leading edge and span of 1.0m was performed to analyze its aerodynamic characteristics. The freestream is 50m/s over -4 to 26 degree A.o.A.s. Reynolds number based on the mean chord length is $1.25{\times}10^6$. 3D multi block hexahedral grids are used which allow good grid quality and ease to capture boundary layer. ${\gamma}-Re_{\theta}$ model as well as $k-{\omega}$ SST model is employed to assess the effect of transition for flow behavior. Drag and lift of the UCAV were well predicted while $C_M$ is under predicted at high angle of attacks and influenced by the turbulence models strongly. After assessing pressure distribution, skin friction lines and velocity field around the UCAV configuration, it was found that transition effect should be considered to enhance the prediction of aerodynamic behavior by a vortical flowfield.
